October 15, 2012
Attorney Emma Tupper fulfills her mother's dying wish by embarking on a monthlong trip to Africa. But a sudden illness followed by a devastating earthquake leave her stranded, turning her planned visit into a six-month ordeal. By the time she returns home to Boston, Emma has been declared legally dead, a handsome photographer named Dominic has leased her apartment, her bank accounts have been frozen, and her coveted corner office has been taken over by her colleague-nemesis Sophie, who has also taken up with Emma's boyfriend, Craig. As Emma begins the daunting task of rebuilding her life, she begins to wonder whether the life she had before is the one she still wants. McKenzie has created a charming character in Emma, witty, extraordinarily level-headed, and blessed with grace under fire in the most trying of circumstances. Forgotten is the story of one young women's life, broken down, reconstructed, and forever altered. It is an endearing story of discovery and transformation and the importance of turning lemons into lemonade.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
